Trout Hall is a historic house museum occupying the oldest house in Allentown. The home was constructed sometime in the late 1760s and is made out of stone. It was built to be a summer home for James Allen, the son of William Allen, who founded the town. Today, it is home to a library as well as a museum operated by the local historical society and holds artifacts from the American Revolutionary War period. Visitors interested in that time period as well as those curious about historical architecture will find a visit here to be quite worthwhile.
